Pyrenees coast to coast off road (mostly)
 
Evening, Just thought i would post up about my up and coming cycle from The bay of roses to the bay of Biscay. It is a 3 week ride (roughly) staying in the Spanish Pyrenees.
leaving mid August.
I was travelling with one other who now cannot make it.
Self sufficient with the odd bit of wild camping thats the idea....
Good to hear from anyone who has cycled much of this area before. I will also be attending the Hubb this weekend in the truck. so see you there!

Well less than 6 weeks to go!
Here is the guide that gave me the route inspiration.

I am looking into staying in small unmanned refugios in the mountains. I do realise quite a few are marked on maps. If anyone can point me in the direction of anywhere with info of locations or a list of them this would be interesting.

I have done a little on the blog. Blogger for my phone was pulled unfortunately and that was what I was used to. But just about getting by.

Just flew over it. Great read of a great trip.

Could you post or somehow submit the detailed route and which parts of it are off-road and accessible by a decent 4x4?

Thanxalot
